Kanye is so much fun. He's a wonderful person.

Cartier-Bresson has said that photography seizes a 'decisive moment', that's true except that it shouldn't be taken too narrowly...does my picture of a cobweb in the rain represent a decisive moment?

You lose somebody you've possibly known for years and on top of that you lose a character that you love seeing on TV so I think that kind of makes it cool that we pay a price too.

I would consider myself a perfectionist, yeah. I don't think that is always that helpful, either.
